Histological characterization of anther development in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Semi-thin transverse sections of tobacco anthers at pre-meiosis (a), meiosis (b), tetrad (c), microspore (d), mitosis (e), and dehiscence (f) stages. Pink-shaded cells in (a–b) are sporogeneous cells (a) or pollen mother cells (PMC) at metaphase (b). Msp, microspores; P, pollen; Tds, tetrads; T, tapetum. Bars, 50 μm
